Clash of the New Types

"That black Mega Armor is so fast. It seems he wants to…"

Riker realizes that the enemy is closing in on him quickly. Intending to shoot, he turned the robot he was driving to drift away to the left.

However, Riker's opponent is Aiden Wildemann, a pilot who passed the tactical maneuver test second best after Alexis Saunders.

Seeing that his enemy was dodging, Aiden continued to drive the Mega Armor he was driving towards Silveraven.

"No time …!" Riker coplained.

ZHIIING…!

At that time, Aiden had drawn one of his Mega Armor swords which was mounted at his waist. Intending to point his rifle with a long muzzle, Riker was forced to block the sword that Aiden swung with his weapon.

BAM…!

Followed by the boost from Skyburner jetpack as well as a powerful slash from Aiden, Silveraven was pushed down. Riker almost let go of his weapon.

"I hope my rifle doesn't get damaged because of this damn black Mega Armor. Time to execute what I've learned from Dino over the past few days."

SZHRIIING…!

After speaking to himself, Riker deployed the katar weapon hidden behind a panel in his robot's left hand and stabbed the sharp weapon at Seraph.

CLANNNKKKK…!

The two sharp weapons from the two robots clashed. Next, there was a close combat fight between Seraph and Silveraven.

On certain occasions, there is a Mega Armor comes to interrupt the two of them. Because there was a UEF pilot who was trying to help Aiden. On the other hand, there are ELC members who want to support Seraph.

However, Aiden was able to handle it swiftly. Likewise with Riker. He also managed to repel other robots that wanted to attack him.

Behind the clouds, the rebel's blue Mega Armor was still firing shot after shot to help his comrades. The pilot muttered.

"Damn. I should have just jumped down there too. Unfortunately—"

BEEEP-BEEEP! BEEEP-BEEEP!

Dino, the Jaegernaut pilot was surprised. The alarm in his cockpit alerted him that another war machine was coming.

"What…?!"

FHEEEEWWW! FHEEEWWW! FHEEEWWW!

Before he had time to know who was coming close, several shots were fired at him. Then Dino saw there was a Rider Armor that had a figure like Mega Armor approaching him.

"Shit, they found me!" said Dino while moving his war vehicle to fly in another direction.

"Gotcha, sniper!"

That's what Karenina said in the Cherub cockpit. It could be said that the battle robot was designed for recon and guerrilla missions.

Assigned to guard against anything happening to the Seraph, he apparently found the Jaegernaut's position.

"Heron, an enemy Mega Armor found me!" Dino reported to his friends. A woman's voice replied.

"Hold him, Jaegernaut. We can't leave from here yet!"

There was a dogfight between Jaegernaut and Cherub. Dino put away his robot sniper rifle which has a retractable muzzle. The weapon can even be folded automatically so it can be worn on his back.

Then, the pilot took another weapon which could be said to be an SMG-type beam that was attached to the Jagernaut booster.

RATATATATA-RATATATATA!

FHEEEEWWW! FHEEEWWW!

"Too bad I don't quite understand Cherub completely yet. At least, my opponent's Mega Armor is not an agile kind of robot," Karenina said in her head.

At that time, Cherub was using the Cloak Vest system. Its shape is half a flying saucer with an aerodynamic design, half humanoid. Or you could say, he resembles an alien creature.

"So UEF also now has new Mega Armors? Benedict Engineering is truly extraordinary," praised Dino as he controlled his robot to dodge and shoot at Cherub.

Far from the battlefield. A carrier aircraft that at first glance has a design like a racing car but is more aerodynamic, hovering behind the clouds.

It was Heron, a ship that helped Riker retreat from the battle on Edison last time. On the bridge of the ship, a black-haired woman was seen sitting and biting her thumbnail.

Just like other aircraft carriers, there are several people who also sit facing the ship's control monitoring device.

"Ma'am, half of the ELC troops are gone. The ground team has also been knocked back," a female operator said. Her male friend added.

"If we continue to fight Veracruz, we will probably be the ones that are being wiped out by new UEF ships and their troops, Ma'am."

Hearing what her subordinate saying, the woman who was the captain of their ship fell silent for a moment. Then she said, "Connect me with ABC."

"Roger," said an operator who talked back to her. "ABC is on the line, Ma'am."

"ABC, how much longer does this assault mission have to go on? Veracruz has received a bunch of Stella Polaris' elite troops. Sooner or later, the ELC will run out too."

"You are doing a great job!" praised a guy that being contacted calmly. "Just hold on a little longer and everything will arrive in Colombia without missing a beat. You will be rewarded well, don't worry!"

"I'm not questioning our reward, Sir. Many people's lives are at stake here. Just contact us as soon as what you are working on is finished."

"Just be patient, Heron..."

Back to the Veracruz outpost. What was said in Heron was true. ELC's three new Mega Armors have withdrawn some distance from the UEF headquarters. Many of the ELC troops abandoned their damaged war vehicle and ran away.

"Damn Stella Polaris… hey, Angelicore, if only you were on the front lines, maybe we wouldn't be in this much trouble!"

The Crimsonite pilot, one of ELC's new Mega Armors contacted his friend who had heavy weapons. The Angelicore pilot replied.

"I've been protecting you all from here, you fussy bastard... just shut your mouth and try not to get shot!"

Hearing his friend's words, while concentrating on facing the enemy the Crimsonite pilot frowned. Meanwhile, his female friend keeps trying to knock down their opponent's Mega Armors.

"Mom, dad… I can't go home with victory yet. However, I will bring enough money for us," the woman said softly in her heart.

In fact, ELC had calculated that with the arrival of Cathedral, they would lose even though their numbers were large.

How could it not be like that? Together with his men, Alexis seemed to be able to secure the land. In fact, the rebel pilots seemed to be afraid of him.

CHRUUUNK…, CRAAASH!

Lupus II has a distinctive sword that is not too long. The rebel Mega Armors who tried to get close to him were immediately punished. The ELC pilots became reluctant because they'd been defeated by Lupus II in close-quarter combat.

"Let them retreat, don't pursue! After all, they are usually like that. Come like cockroaches then leave and hide again," Alexis ordered his subordinates.

In the sky, the war between Seraph and Silveraven continues. Aiden was forced to turn the robot's body around because, for the umpteenth time, Mega Armor ELC attacked him. However, his opponent's robot's head was immediately taken by the sword.

"Aubrey needs to be told. This sword still lacks aerodynamics. What if I have to fight at close range at high speed too?!" thought Aiden.

Seraph immediately turned around again. Because there were already two Mega Armors coming to attack him. He immediately grabbed his rudimentary rifle and shot at the opponent.

BHEEEEW! BHEEEEW!

Meanwhile, Riker is also in trouble because an enemy is approaching him. He swung and thrust the Silveraven katar at the enemy, then moved away again.

"No, don't let Silveraven be conquered. The colony must expand, the deaths of my friends have not yet been avenged!"

While busy with their respective opponents, Silveraven and Seraph faced each other again. The two robots forced their way while clashing their sharp weapons, maneuvering and slashing and stabbing again.

CLANK…, CLANK…, CLANK…!

BAAAM…!

"The driver of this silver bogey probably didn't know; he and his friends were going to lose. I'll capture—"

BEEEP-BEEEP! BEEEP-BEEEP!

FHEEEEWWW…! FHEEEWWW…!

BHEEEEWWW…! BHEEEWWW…!

Before Aiden who was talking to himself had time to finish his words, green light beams shot at him. There were several Ride Armors coming and aiming at him, then maneuvering away.

"Reinforcement? Come here, you mosquitoes, let me pat you!" Aiden growled because Silveraven moved away due to the actions of those battle machines' arrival. He shot at the enemy, but they all scattered.

On land. Alexis' troops were also disturbed by rocket attacks from a long distance. So, they were forced to break up their formation and keep their distance from the rebel troops.

"Pull to one side, just let them continue to retreat!" Alexis ordered his men.

BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!

Far away, signal flares spread around in the air. Seeing it, the rebel troops moved further away from the Veracruz outpost. It's their sign to retreat. The pilots of ELC's new Mega Armors can hear a woman talking to them through their communication channel.

"Silveraven, Crimsonite, Jaegernaut, Angelicore, and Wolvanger, stop engaging the enemy. Time to retreat!"

Escorted by several Ride Armors, Riker withdrew from the battlefield. Meanwhile, Aiden could only watch his mortal enemy leave. In Cherub's cockpit, Karenina sees the Jaegrnaut fly away, also under the enemy's Ride Armor squad escort.
